Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 8 eggs
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it’s fully cooked. Drain excess fat and season with salt and black pepper.
- In a separate nonstick pan, scramble the eggs over medium-low heat until they are fluffy and cooked through.
- Using the same skillet from cooking the beef, add the diced red bell pepper and onion, and sauté until softened.
- Lay out the tortillas. Evenly divide the scrambled eggs, cooked ground beef, sautéed veggies, cheddar cheese, and optional herbs among them.
- Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and roll tightly to form burritos.
- Wrap each burrito in parchment paper and then in foil, or place them into freezer-safe bags.
- Freeze the burritos for up to three months. To reheat, microwave for 2–3 minutes or bake in the oven at 375°F for 20–25 minutes until heated through.
Notes
Customize your burritos with different proteins or vegetables. Best served with avocado, fruit salad, or salsa.
